Got this joke from a friend. Not sure whether these are real or not but it's hilarious as usual... enjoy!! :D
These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

******************************************************************

******************************************************************
ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?

ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
WITNESS: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy on him!
******************************************************************
ATTORNEY: Are you qualified to give a urine sample?

******************************************************************
ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY Did you check for breathing?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
WITNESS: No.
ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
ATTORNEY: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practising law.
